Centres take the stage

Article Abstract:

The Braehead retail centre on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, has not affected the retail trade in the city centre but local agents suggest it may have a detrimental affect on trade in nearby towns. A leisure development is due to be built on the site and a 250,000 sq ft retail warehouse is planned to open at Easter 2000. Two new shopping centres have been opened in the city supplying 1.2 million sq ft of extra retail space. Despite concerns the new centres would take custom from other sites in the city all areas seem to be thriving. Some redevelopment is going ahead in Buchanan Street, Glasgow.
